It’s why, even though he does not have Embiid’s resumé, the Sixers are trending toward becoming Maxey’s team.

That's the second clear helmet to helmet from Patriots. He needs to be fined, suspended. League has to take a stand.

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants
The Trump administration is being open about its plans to violate Americans’ First and Fourth Amendment rights.

I'm shocked but somewhat pleased the mainstream media is going all Watergate on the Hegseth war crimes in the Caribbean. "Morning Joe" (yes, I know, don't @ me) has talked about little else for 2 hours

I'm not 100% convinced that this is the turning point but it might be, with Trump at just 36%

The Israeli prime minister is facing corruption charges that could see him sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.
What does Netanyahu want to be pardoned for and is it possible?

Sixers center Andre Drummond had an MRI this morning. There was no structural damage on his sprained right knee. He reported feeling better today, and his status will be updated at 5 pm.

This. USNA 81 grad. We were specifically taught about My Lai as THE example of NOT following illegal orders. Thank you, @willbunch.bsky.social for point this out.
In 1968, a soldier named Hugh Thompson defied orders to save Vietnamese lives during the My Lai massacre. Eventually seen as a hero, in real time he was vilified and nearly court-martialed

Another stellar, must-read column by @willbunch.bsky.social and I also wholeheartedly agree with this assessment of the Anand Giridharadas op-ed in the NYT and have posted a gift link previously.

The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:

“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”

That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

Shame on every last one of the people who attended this dinner. They’re all absolutely despicable.
A depraved and decadent Trump WH dinner for MBS was a stunning low for an American ruling class that's stopped pretending to carry a moral compass

It was really a celebration of death - of democracy, of an overheating planet, and ultimately themselves. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ceos...
The night America’s doomed ruling class gorged on lamb, blood, and oil
For America’s deeply corrupt billionaires, time heals all wounds — even from a murderous Saudi prince’s bone saw.
